What Causes Lump Under Skin On Top Of Wrist To A 6 Month Baby?
hi I have a 6mth old baby boy, with a hard lump under his skin on the top of his wrist. It does not cause any pain or discomfort to him but is getting bigger. A x-ray has shown no bone damage and we now await a scan for soft tissue damage. What do you think it could be? Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
This lump may be a bursa attached to tendon.
The swelling moves side to side ,but not up and down.
Better consult surgeon.
